"There are people who can call a blog as their business. In this case, their revenue is mainly from ad sales on their blog. But, that is not a very sustainable or long term business approach you should have. Your online business must solve a person’s problem."
- Marieke Hensel, Why Blogging is Not a Viable Business Mode", Branding Personality, January 30, 2012

Slowly but surely, CMSReport.com has turned into a nice side business for me. The problem is that this site has grown to a point that it demands more of my time than I can currently offer it. The future of CMS Report is now sitting at crossroad. I plan to be spending the next few months deciding where this site should go from here.
Some of the options I am considering for this site include:
Five years ago, I started CMS Report by wanting to build a website focused on reporting today's news in the world of content management systems (CMS). At the time, I was obsessed with information systems and realized that a CMS is one of the best vehicles to putting the ideals of information systems into practice. My goal was to either blog here at the site about content management or to refer others to CMS stories posted elsewhere. My strategy was to make this site my personal bookmark for stories that would interest me and perhaps a few others that might share my interest in this emerging market of Web content management.

"You could say, as many do, that shipping jobs overseas is no big deal because the high-value work—and much of the profits—remain in the U.S. That may well be so. But what kind of a society are we going to have if it consists of highly paid people doing high-value-added work—and masses of unemployed?"

Yes, obvious, tedious, but ever so true: first impressions are everything, and in the translation business that means CVs. But cover letters are even more essential, assuming, that is, you want to get your foot in the door.
While I am directing this primarily to translators who are just starting out and seeking to build up a client base, seasoned translators might also find it useful to rethink their approach. Many translators, and not just the new ones, have the sense that their CVs aren’t even being looked at, despite the fact that their qualifications and experience are ideally suited to the particular project in question. Given the number of freelance translators from all over the globalized universe who are apparently applying to every single agency and for every single “solicited” translation project, what in that world is a girl (or boy) to do?
First, it should go without saying that your cover letter should be absolutely meticulous in terms of spelling, syntax and punctuation. After all, you are selling your communication and linguistic skills. Your primary goal, however, is to catch the recipient’s attention so they do in fact read it rather than throw it into some virtual dustbin along with most of the others they’ve received.
In the global business economy, every organization needs a competitive edge. Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) may find it difficult to differentiate services and products from competitors. But the competitive advantage is broader than product and service offerings.
To be competitive in your market of choice, you will also need a competitive edge to attract and retain employees, partners and suppliers. Competitive advantage can even extend to financial resources. The organization that can easily flex to obtain additional financing and provide timely expansion has a critical edge on its competitors.
One of the key factors for flexibility is building and maintaining a stable, innovative communication framework. This framework can provide numerous advantages for internal and external communication. The expanding reach of Content Management Systems (CMS) offers a foundation for growth and enables a flexible environment where your organization can creatively address client, employee and partner needs.
To engender competitive differentiation, your organization must assess the available tools and solutions in the CMS software market. Open source tools provide flexibility for a multi-layered functional approach and there are proven CMS frameworks, modules and templates that provide a simple environment and toolkit from which you can create your CMS solution.
Let’s take a look at some of the areas within your organization where CMS may offer a competitive edge.
Wellington technology company SilverStripe has recorded its best company growth in its 10 year history, in contrast to the tough global economic conditions that have adversely affected much of the IT industry. SilverStripe recorded 190% revenue growth between 2007 and 2009, ranking SilverStripe the 37th fastest growing business in New Zealand as calculated by Deloitte for their 2009 New Zealand Fast 50 awards.
SilverStripe CEO Brian Calhoun explains that the company growth reflects the belief in open source and people: "This is a big deal for us because it shows that the things we believe in; open source, excellent web user experience, and a focus on the humans who use web technology, are all qualities that are appreciated by the business community."
Demand for SilverStripe's services are also represented in physical book sales. In October 2009, a 432 page SilverStripe developer manual was published. This book has sold out on multiple occasions at Amazon.com and ranks in Amazon's top 100 fastest selling website programming books worldwide. The book allows website developers to build complex websites using SilverStripe's open source software, which has been downloaded over 250,000 times.
